Chapter 2

Robin gripped Jerry's hand on the airplane. It was her way of calming down her fear of flying. Sometimes, she found it weird because she couldn't remember ever being afraid of flying. She guessed her fear came from seeing different news reports on planes crashing. She was so lost in thought she didn't realize she was cutting off the circulation in Jerry's hand.

"Robin," he said. "You are cutting my circulation." She quickly let go of his hand and apologized. He chuckled while shaking his hand trying to get the blood flowing again. "It's alright. Next time please try not to crush it."

She gave a weak smile and leaned back into her seat. "Jerry, why are we going to Switzerland? What's so important about that place?"

He stroked her cheek. He found it strange when she relaxed to his touch. The old Robin would recoil and normally say something sarcastic making him want to strangle her. He stared at her taking in her features. She was beautiful but deadly. He made himself a monster. The female version of himself but maybe not as diabolical.

"Jerry?" she called out.

He shook his head. "Sorry. I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you are," he said. To his surprise, she blushed.

"Aren't you Prince Charming? And thank you. You aren't bad looking either but you haven't answered my question," she said.

"I have a friend in Switzerland who I want you to meet," Jerry said.

Robin arched an eyebrow. "Why?"

Jerry rolled his eyes. "It's a surprise and I know you like surprises."

Robin sighed. "Fine. I won't ask anything else."

She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep. Jerry watched her for a second before leaning back in his own chair. He didn't know why he was surprised at her actions at times. He guessed it was because he had always been on his guard with women in recent years except for Alexis. Robin managed to worm her way into his heart albeit involuntarily. As long as she did what was expected of her, she would live.

Once they landed in Switzerland and settled into another hotel, they went to the clinic. He wanted to see if Robin would recognize the place or the person she was about to see.

They entered the clinic and Robin looked around. It was creepy but she had been in worse places. She looked up at Jerry.

"This is my surprise," she said incredulously. He gave her a smile but didn't answer her question. He was inwardly relieved. She didn't recognize the place and he could keep going with his charade.

Jerry saw the good doctor and waited for her to approach. "Mr. Jacks, it's good to see you. It's always a pleasure."

"Nice to see you Dr. Obrecht. Allow me to introduce my friend, Robin." Obrecht extended her hand and Robin shook it. She displayed no recognition in her eyes. Dr. Obrecht smiled at this development. The brainwashing worked.

"It's nice to meet you Robin," she said.

"Likewise," she said. There was something about this woman that screamed darkness not unlike herself. It took a dark person to recognize another. Robin could tell this woman had many skeletons in her closet. "So you are a psychiatrist."

"Correct," Obrecht said. "May I show you something? I think you might find this…appealing." Robin seemed intrigued.

"Lead the way," Robin said.

She was led to Robert's room. Dr. Obrecht made sure that blasted woman wasn't around to see Robin. She opened the door to Robert still in a coma. Jerry and Obrecht waited for a reaction. However, nothing passed on her face. She blankly stared at Robert.

"Who is he?" asked Robin.

"A bad man. He's killed people without thought," Obrecht lied.

Robin narrowed her eyes. "How did he end up in this state?" she asked.

"He was his own downfall," Obrecht said.

"Then he deserved what he got," Robin said to Jerry's delight.

She turned to Jerry. "Why am I really here?"

"That man you see lying in the bed over there has several partners who could harm me." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "They could harm us my darling. These people think I'm sort of terrorist or something. They have to be eliminated. Unfortunately, we have to make one more pit stop before reaching our destination."

Robin gasped as he related the information. She couldn't let anything happen to Jerry. He was her only friend in this world.

"Okay, I'll help you." Jerry thanked her and told her she was a good friend. He sent Robin along before turning to the doctor.

"No one was here," he whispered harshly.

"Understood," she said.

He smiled wickedly and said, "Our little Scorpio is quite something isn't she? You did a very good job and you will continue to be paid handsomely for your services."

"Thank you Mr. Jacks. However, I had the unfortunate experience of hearing about Mrs. Cassadine's demise."

"She was...different. Very cunning and manipulative. She had a twisted charm about her. The witch had it coming though," Jerry said. "Stick to the arrangement," Jerry stated. "See you around." He caught up with Robin and they exited the building. Once they reached the car, Jerry told the driver to take them back to the hotel.

Robin stayed quiet throughout the ride and all the way up to the hotel room. He watched her amusingly. She was in one of those moods. She was thinking of all the ways to get them out of trouble.

"Rob, what are you thinking?"

She smirked. "Nice try but you already know what I'm thinking. I'm trying to keep us safe. I'm also trying to think of ways to make sure our enemies don't bother us again," she said in a serious but deadly tone.

"Robin, you don't-

"Stop," she interrupted. "We're in this together. You are the only one who I can trust and no one is taking you away from me. Now who has to be eliminated?"

His eyes danced with delight. His monster, his creation was showing herself. Yes, Port Charles would be in a day of reckoning.

"Luke Spencer. He's that man's number one accomplice in all his evil affairs. After he's gone, we can be onto bigger and better things."

"When do we start?" asked Robin.

He wrapped his arms around her. "Patience my dear Robin. We have to be careful not to make any mistakes." He kissed her on the forehead. "Understand?" She nodded yes and suddenly hugged him.

"The sooner we get this over it with, the better," she said. "They don't know that a storm is coming," Robin continued.

He stroked her head. "That's my girl." Their moment was interrupted by Jerry's phone buzzing. Jerry pulled it out. The text read: Spencer is in Germany. He responded: Keep him there by any means.

"Is that news about our target?" asked Robin.

"Perceptive. Yes, seems our little waste of space has landed in Germany. But don't worry, he'll be ours for the taking. Tonight, we are going to celebrate this little news. We're going out."

Germany…

Luke was determined to find that bastard if it was the last thing he did. He had already traveled to three countries and nothing. His body was getting weaker and he had to explore every avenue to find this cure.

He thought about his children, especially Lulu. She needed him still and he had to find a way back to her. There was Laura, his angel. He would always love and care about her. She had Scott Baldwin but they would always have a connection. Finally, he thought about Tracy. She truly had become his Bonnie. Their relationship was not common but he couldn't imagine a life without her.

He entered his hotel room and turned on the light. Suddenly, he felt a presence overtake him and he struggled. His body was far weaker and it was hard to keep his footing. The men shoved him forward and he nearly toppled over.

"What can I do for you gentlemen? I would say you could stay but I think you've stayed your welcome," Luke said.

"Someone wants to see you. You're coming with us," said one of the men.

"I doubt that," Luke shot back.

"Have it your way," said another man and he charged for Luke. Luke fought back but he was hit in the stomach and kicked. Soon he fell into darkness.
